Don’t you feel jealous when they touch me like that?
When they feel my skin and wet it like that?
Doesn’t it hurt you to know that I revel in their sound and that your voice, in the song of the raindrops, dies out?
Do they mock you when I am theirs?
They do that to me…
I hate then when they feel your lips
I hate them charting their ways into your being
They kill me when they drown my sound;
They burn me when they touch you when I am not around.
Raindrops on my window panes live like me
One drop at a time, one moment it is
One moment they are born they fall and then die
They are no tear drops, no.
No children of desire they are; No wanting or need.
They are the result of a game played; of a connived history.
treasure the raindrops which fall of you
ReplyDeletefor they touched what I crave.
These are the lines I sang for her. I am not jealous of raindrops...they are the drops of my desire. I treasure them forever. admiring them, taking in their fragrance...for they were a part of her.
This is a beautifully penned down piece...i dont have much to say here. probably coz this gets me thinkin in a different tangent alltogether.
ps: like ur template...its like a mirror image of mine
lucky 'her'
ReplyDeleteand a different tangent hmm...elucidate.
p.s. thanks.

ReplyDeletethank you =)
ReplyDeleteHave never looked at raindrops from this "angle". They have always been a "private" obsession for me. They do make me jealous though. May be that is why I am obsessed about them, the jealousy. Great poetry! :-)
